It’s the hot new thing in town; Gryphons & Gargoyles. People are saying kids are dying from it & have even gotten hurt in the past. They’re saying it’s so addicting and is enabling kids to hurt each other. I hope none of the parents have a super secret past playing this thing… Also Archie is caught in an underground prison fight ring.

Sabrina starts to go against the church and we start to see just how Catholic the whole witch society is. We discuss how men have assumed leadership in the Church of Night, the matriarchy of the Spellman household, our love of Ambrose, Prudence being the most savvy character so far, Daniel Webster attorney at law, and what led to the Spellman parents getting two conflicting baptisms.

It’s time for Kevin’s big play! We discuss the play adaptations of Carrie, why it’s so important for Cheryl, the mishandling of Ethel and the characters reaching a place of forgiveness. But first we cover Archie walking down a dark path, Choni’s big kiss, Hiram’s empire crumbling, Chic getting the Cooper family into trouble and some heavy discussion on conversion therapy (a chapter is listed for that in case you want to skip it).

What’s a better idea to escape your problems than getting away to a cabin? Hold on I’m getting word that your problems still remain with you. O well, might as well make things as awkward as possible on the trip then. We discuss the Vughead kiss, telling towns people you’re alone at the cabin, Cheryl coming out, Kevin and Josey having terrible parents, burying bodies and the Poe of it all.

We have two fantastic and ridiculous episodes this week! We discuss homoeroticism and wrestling, Hiram and Archie’s pissing contest, Veronica's confirmation, Kevin beating Archie at wrestling, Jugheads white savior complex, Betty and Chic’s weird turn, and the best character name on Riverdale (maybe television?).

It’s Christmas time in Riverdale which mostly means exes exchange gifts but don’t replace the love notes they wrote before they broke up. We discuss Barchie, the lackluster Joseph Conway plot, Veronica being brought in by her parents, why the serpents are happy to move schools, Jughead throwing a fit about his serpent jacket, and Chic being the creepiest dude on the planet. We also head down memory lane and remember our time at UCSB & Deltopia. Also the actor I was thinking of was Ben Schwar...

An interesting episode setup unfortunately doesn’t mean a great episode and we both find the episodes a bit weak.

Heavy episode this week and a content warning up to that this episode has a fair bit of discussion about sexual assault. We discuss Nick St Clair, the background production for writing Cheryl's plotline, the episode coming out around the Harvey Weinstein allegations & writing well rounded women characters. There's also still plenty of fun as we talk through Alice stepping into her serpent past, the big drag race, Jughead's serpent initiation, Betty's serial killer trials & the weird move...

What a way to end the season. Riverdale really sticks the landing with both the reveal of Jason's killer and a finale episode dedicated to character arcs.

Somehow we’re already rapidly approaching the end of this season as the mystery really picks up this week. We discuss Jughead’s birthday, how different characters express control, FP attending the high school party, Cheryl starting to rebel, and Betty being on the wrong end of Jughead’s ire. We also wonder why no one will tell Betty about Archie and Veronica?? We also discuss the approaching Trump presidency, the TikTok ban (and reinstatement), and the sad passing of David Lynch.

A Cheryl focused episode on the Blossom family? It looks absolutely gorgeous? And the fashion is amazing? We couldn’t ask for a better time this week. We discuss the weird Blossom family vibes and using Archie, why Betty continues to be the best, in universe pun names, Archie being the dumbest boy alive, wonder why nobody knows FP is a serpent, the cooper family trauma, pondering the Jones family naming conventions, Veronica trying to make amends, & the power dynamics between Cheryl and Arch...

We continue to be delighted by Riverdale's focus on teen drama interests (crushes, friendships, balancing responsibilities) with just a sprinkling of over the top performances. We discuss the platonic love for Betty, Fred Andrew's folksiness, whether Veronica should've actually stopped Betty, the nuanced depiction of Josie, the depiction of Archie & Grundy's relationship, puzzle over Jughead's place in the school culture and heap praise on heightened queens Alice and Cheryl. Our amazing cove...

So we had assumed that Redemption House would be a ridiculous good time and boy were wrong. We discuss the horrors of hell houses, Kelly taking an evil turn, religious people speaking in tongues (including Emily witnessing this at a church camp), Greg's (romantic?) turn and wonder what other shady things the Our Mother of Holy Grace is up to. We also discuss the car crash that is Noa, Wes being the most pathetic man alive, Johnny being hopefully just a nice boy and Imogen's righteous (and amazin...

We start the new season of Pretty Little Liars (apparently that's just the series name and the seasons have specific names???) and are enjoying the lighter sequel tone so far. We ask why there's suddenly more old timey technology around, delight in the punny name of spookyspaghetti.com, quickly tidying up season 1 loose ends, question the methods of the returning Dr. Sullivan, ask why they all decided they needed summer jobs, are torn over Noa's mysterious friend (or ex?) from juvie and delight ...
